There is a certain early morning show which has a frequent substitute for a weatherperson who constantly refers to snow as “white stuff”. It’s not just once in a while either. Hey Pal, it’s snow, alright? We are getting 20 cm of beautiful snow. White stuff is what white stuff is, snow is snow. Call it what it is please or at least use some variance. This Bitch is a result of reading a weather report from the main paper in town which is now using this ridiculous term to talk about our weather. English people, please. —It’s SNOW

Perhaps he would prefer a face full of the white stuff
Where’s the other white stuff? Under a certain weatherlady’s two inch pancake makeup? Man, that woman has the fashion sense of a socket wrench.
she had it on the whore-setting ttfn http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wXFzZwZ6zAg/RdPe…
You know how they say the Inuit have dozens of different words for snow? I’m pretty sure we could beat them with how many different words we have for semen.
What does that say about us?
Its snow you say !?!
would that be ‘aput’ -snow on the ground
‘gana’- falling snow
‘piqsirpoq’- drifting snow
or maybe ‘qimuqsuq’ -a snow drift
You see the word ‘snow’ conveys the concept of frozen water. but it doesn’t tell us if its wet snow, or small flakes, blowing snow, or a blizzard.
Just like telling us , more of the white stuff is coming.
By the way , did it ever occur to you that this person may be talking in code to someone else & more of the white stuff is coming…is just their way of letting their contact know the Cocaine will be there shortly !
I agree, Its snow and thats what it should be called.
That irks me as much as sportscasters using terms from other sports:
“What a shot by Gretzky– touchdown!”
“Devon White hits a touchdown in the third frame…” (I loved that one… a bowling AND football term during a baseball game)
I just with they’s just STFU about sensationaling the weather. It’s winter, it’s Canada, we get wind, snow and fucking cold temperatures. Unless you immigrated from the south yesterday, you fucking know this.

wow…he shoulda been a preacher man. thanks kimmy
what the fuck? snow, white stuff, powder fluff, it’s all fucking shit. you like it fine, we get it, but there are many, many more who could care less to see it again this winter.
don’t get me wrong, i like snow, on post cards, in movies and elsewhere. not just outside my door at 6 a.m., if i have to go someplace in a hurry. and have to wait til roads are clear of the foot of shit that got dumped.
Winter! Ha! You people wouldn’t know winter if you fell over it. Where I grew up winters were 8 months long, snow came right up to the eaves, and the average temperature was -40* without the windchill factor. If it was windy that temperature could double easily to -80. Frostbite was a common occurence. And if you didn’t plug your car in overnight you were not going anywhere ’til spring. There were 2 seasons, winter, and not winter. Nova Scotia winters don’t even compare. Okay, maybe White Juan came close, but that was even fleeting in comparison.
Just joking! I can’t wait ’til spring like the rest of us.
Winter on the Rocks, no joke…I can’t imagine…especially anywhere above Goose Bay. Whitehorse or Nunavut in the dead of winter…not in my lifetime.
If I want to appease my adventurous spirit, I’ll go live by a volcano = )
The Goose is no picnic in the winter either.
Yup the land of $50 pizzas (about 17 yrs ago) and guaranteed delivery within 2 hours. At least in the fall.
I wonder if you’re allowed to wear a Goose down coat there?
Bro T, you are only allowed to wear them if you are a wuss. Real Labradorians just wear windbreakers:P

Memory Lane! Thanks Hugo.
…$50 pizza nah Boston pizza’s are only bout 40 bucks 🙂
I’d much rather getting the white stuff than the wet stuff. Or the wet AND white stuff. Although the white and icy stuff is pretty shitty….. then you’ve got the white, wet and half-icy stuff.. and THEN………
binary weather….
I likes it.
still haven’t gotten sledding yet so it had better stick around this time.
Perhaps she would prefer a face full of the-
Dammit!
I also hate when I hear weather people talking about “the wet stuff”. WTF?
Both ‘white’ and ‘stuff’ are in fact words in the English language. Deal with it.
You people get pissed off by the most excruciating of minutiae sometimes…
sounds like a deodorant commercial.
with “NO FLAKY WHITE STUFF”
They could always refer to the next snow storm as it looking like a coke addicts wet dream
